Fall is in full swing around the Treasure Valley, and this weekend is packed with free family events, pumpkins, Halloween fun, sports and more.

It’s not Halloween yet, but some Harrison Boulevard homeowners clearly couldn’t wait. Here’s an early look at Boise’s most famous Halloween street.

Getting a 76-foot Christmas tree from an Idaho forest to Washington, D.C., takes quite a journey. Here’s where the People’s Tree is stopping along the way.

Want the spooky without the scary? Meridian’s Spooky Light Show is back with around a million synchronized Halloween lights and music for the entire family.

I’ve been visiting Freak Alley since shortly after moving to Idaho. More than two decades later, I finally wondered: Who decides what stays, what gets painted over and which artist gets the wall next?

I love Halloween and I love tacos, so I’ve decided October needs both. Welcome to Tacoberfest, my month-long mission to try as many locally owned Treasure Valley taco spots as possible. First up: Bronco Tacos in Boise.

After walking past fences and construction along Boise’s 8th Street, the timing couldn’t be better: a major section finally reopens October 1.

I went looking for hot apple cider around Boise and the Treasure Valley and discovered some fantastic fall cups, along with a few things you’ll want to know before heading out.

You’re going to want to plan ahead for this one. Boise State Homecoming, Meridian Oktoberfest, Potato Days, See Spot Walk and plenty more make October 2-4 one of the busiest fall weekends in the Treasure Valley.

FitOne may be in the books, but the Treasure Valley running calendar isn’t finished yet. Here are some of the Boise-area races still coming before the end of 2026.
